any wordpress gurus around.. I want external 404 - GoFuckYourself.com

spacedog · 12-14-2008, 09:33 PM

I'm using Bob's limau orange theme on a wordpress blog.. there's no 404.php

Anyway.. I want 404 to go to an external url not the default wordpress not found.. I added the errordocument directives to my .htaccess but it's not working.

Anyone know how to solve this?

hope it works :tup:

Creating an Error 404 Page WordPress Codex

right before this:

Code:

// begin the output buffer to send headers and resonse
ob_start();
@header("HTTP/1.1 $AA_STATUS_CODE $AA_REASON_PHRASE",1);
@header("Status: $AA_STATUS_CODE $AA_REASON_PHRASE",1);

put this:

Code:

if($AA_STATUS_CODE == '404'){
  header("Location: http://path.to/whatever");
}

easiest way is to create a 404.php and upload it to the theme directory, and then just do the redirect from within that file with something like this

PHP Code:


			
<?php

header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/where_I_want_them_to_go.html' ) ;

?>

Even though SD's problem is solved, someone will eventually find this thread through search and the resolution wasn't explained very well...and I fucking hate that when I come across something like that.

50 results on google showing threads about "how do I fix this?" and all of them end with the thread starter posting "figured it out....thanks"......and that's it....no solution offered.
It's fucking annoying.

So this post was my contribution to humanity.
